Verifying Your Tcp/Ip Connection - Siemens Gigaset Owner's Manual

Configuring Client TCP/IP

Verifying your TCP/IP Connection

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the
same network as the Gigaset Router, use the Ping command to check if your computer
has successfully connected to the Gigaset Router. The following example shows how
the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window.
From the Windows desktop, click Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt.
In the Command Prompt window, type the Ping command:
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Gigaset Router has been success-
fully established.
If you get the following message,
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the following
items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Gigaset Router and the com-
puter?
The LAN LED on the Gigaset Router and the Link LED of the network card on your
computer must be on.
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Gigaset Router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of your PC must
be from 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be
192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Gigaset Router you are now ready to connect to the
Internet!
